Testing Isotope eCommerce on your own server
Our demo installation is the best tool to show you the configuration and features of Isotope eCommerce. The setup is based on the official Contao Demo and works in conjunction with a fresh installation of Contao 4.13 and using the Contao Manager.

Select the Theme for Contao option and enter isotope in the search field.
Click on Details in the search result and then on Install.
The demo will now be installed.
Once the installation is complete, the connection parameters must be entered.
Click on Import theme.
The database is restored from the supplied backup.
The database import has been successfully completed, click on Continue to check the database schema.
Perform the pending migration by clicking on Check database.
To update the database, click on Execute.
The database changes have been applied, click Next.
Click on Execute to make the Shema changes.
There are no further migrations or schema changes, click Confirm & Close.
Complete the customization of the database by clicking Next.
